Chapter 158 My chance to become a saint has arrived!
At the same time, Xihe was also quite startled by what Changxi said, and hurriedly glared at Changxi:
"Little sister! What nonsense are you talking about?"
As she spoke, Xihe blushed deeply, her ears turning completely red.
She and Niu Ben had only just met and hadn't even exchanged many words yet, but Chang Xi was already trying to set them up, which made Xi He very embarrassed.
Chang Xi pouted; she was naturally a straightforward person.
Thinking about it, Niu Ben's place looks pretty good.
The key point is that he was a disciple of the Supreme Sage.
The fact that they could arrive at the Taiyin Star silently without being discovered by the demons guarding it outside speaks volumes about their strength.
If Niu Ben were with Xi He, even Di Jun would probably not dare to do anything.
After all, Niu Ben has a saintly master backing him up.
In this way, they would no longer have to be imprisoned by the demon race on this Taiyin Star.
Then, none of the three of them spoke again, and the atmosphere became awkward.
After a brief silence, Xihe, strong and composed, quickly looked at Niuben and said:
"Fellow Daoist Niu Ben, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She just talks without thinking."
"Fellow Daoist, you are a guest from afar. Please come into the hall for a chat."
Upon hearing this, Niu Ben snapped out of his reverie and nodded slightly, saying:
"it is good."
"Then I'll have to trouble you two fairies."
Then, Niu Ben entered the Guanghan Palace under the guidance of Xi He and Chang Xi.
……
Meanwhile, on the primordial land...
Wanshou Mountain, inside Wuzhuang Temple.
Hongyun was sitting opposite his close friend Zhen Yuanzi, discussing philosophy.
Previously, Zhen Yuanzi was invited to attend the opening of a new Taoist temple by the sage Nuwa.
This departure lasted for tens of thousands of years.
During this time, Hongyun stayed inside Wuzhuang Temple and did not leave.
The demon race did not invite him to the ceremony, and Hongyun knew the reason for this. He figured that Kunpeng must still be holding a grudge about giving up his seat at Zixiao Palace back then.
Hongyun didn't seem to care at all.
Thinking that he too possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, he believed that one day he too could attain sainthood.
Unfortunately, after all these years of contemplation, Hongyun still had no insight into attaining enlightenment.
After discussing the Dao, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, noticing the lingering sorrow between Hongyun's brows, clearly indicating her unease.
"My dear brother."
What's wrong with you?
Why do you look so troubled?
Upon hearing this, Hongyun sighed and replied:
"Big brother."
"As you know, countless years have passed since I obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, but I have yet to comprehend the opportunity to become a saint."
"Now that the Dao Ancestor has personally selected several people to become saints, I am still lingering in the quasi-saint realm. I am really uneasy about this."
When she said this, Hongyun's tone was tinged with helplessness and anxiety.
Then, he slowly stood up, looked outside the Wuzhuang Temple, and said with a determined expression:
"After much thought, I realized that staying with my brother was not a good idea. Perhaps my chance to become a saint lies somewhere in the primordial world."
"Therefore, I plan to travel around and perhaps find a chance."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly:
"What you say makes sense, my brother, but the situation in the prehistoric world is delicate right now."
"The demon race is powerful, and the witches and barbarians run rampant. You possess the Primordial Purple Qi, so traveling abroad may be risky. It would be better to wait a while longer, and perhaps an opportunity will come to you."
Hearing what Zhen Yuanzi said, Hongyun smiled bitterly and said:
"In that case, you already told me this tens of thousands of years ago, brother."
"I know my older brother is doing this for my own good, worried about my safety."
"But the opportunity to become a saint is so rare, how could it possibly come knocking on your door?"
"My mind is made up. I must go out and search. Otherwise, I will not be at peace with myself."
Seeing Hongyun's resolute attitude, Zhen Yuanzi knew he couldn't persuade her and could only sigh helplessly:
"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you any further."
"But my dear brother, please remember to be careful when you go out. If anything happens, please send me a message immediately, and I will come to your aid as soon as possible."
Hongyun nodded and bowed deeply to Zhen Yuanzi:
"Thank you for your concern, brother."
"I will act carefully."
Having said that, Hongyun did not linger at Wuzhuang Temple any longer. She transformed into a red cloud and drifted away from Wuzhuang Temple.
At this moment, Kunpeng and the four demon gods, who had been waiting outside, naturally noticed that Hongyun had left.
"Demon Master!"
"Hongyun has left Wuzhuang Temple!"
Ji Meng, the demon god, said excitedly.
You should know that they and Kunpeng had been secretly staking out outside Wuzhuang Temple for tens of thousands of years, and they didn't even return when the Sage Nuwa opened a new temple.
"Red Clouds, Oh Red Clouds!"
"I thought you were going to hide in the Wuzhuang Temple your whole life!"
Kunpeng said coldly.
He originally thought that while Zhen Yuanzi was going to the Heavenly Court to attend the opening of the new Daoist temple by the Sage Nuwa, Hongyun would be unable to resist leaving Wuzhuang Temple.
Who would have thought that Hongyun never left Wuzhuang Temple and had been cultivating there all along.
This left Kunpeng helpless.
Even if Zhen Yuanzi were not in Wuzhuang Temple, they would not dare to make a move rashly.
After all, if they were to attack Hongyun inside the Wuzhuang Temple, it would inevitably anger Zhen Yuanzi.
Now that he saw Hongyun leave Wuzhuang Temple, Kunpeng was overjoyed.
"It's good that you've left!"
"Let's follow him secretly."
"Once this red cloud is far away from the territory of Wuzhuang Temple, we will intercept and kill it."
"Everyone be careful to conceal your presence and avoid alerting the enemy."
Upon hearing what Kunpeng said, Ji Meng and the other four demon gods nodded in agreement.
Then, Kunpeng didn't delay and silently led the four demon gods to chase after Hongyun.
What Kunpeng didn't know was...
Just as they were on their way to pursue Hongyun, the demon god Ji Meng had already sent a telepathic message to the demon emperor Dongjun about Hongyun's departure from Wuzhuang Temple.
Meanwhile, inside the Lingxiao Palace of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.
Di Jun is discussing the next steps in the plan against the Wu Clan with Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, and other high-ranking members of the demon clan.
Suddenly, Di Jun's expression changed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The demons and gods inside the hall were all bewildered by what they saw.
Seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi asked curiously:
"Why did you suddenly laugh, elder brother? Is there some good news?"
Di Jun stopped laughing, his eyes gleaming, and said excitedly:
"I just received a message from the demon god Ji Meng. Hongyun has already left Wuzhuang Temple."
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, Donghuang Taiyi was first taken aback, then overjoyed.
"really?"
"Truly, heaven is helping my demon race!"
Meanwhile, the other high-ranking members of the demon race inside the hall immediately understood what was going on after hearing their conversation.
Everyone knows that Hongyun also possesses a wisp of primordial purple energy, which is the foundation for achieving sainthood.
If the demon race could obtain this purple energy, they might be able to cultivate their own saint. At that time, sweeping away the witch race and unifying the prehistoric world would be just around the corner.
